Brains on Fire

is looking for a Senior Graphic Designer

Los Angeles, CA

ABOUT YOU

You wake up every morning and do your best to make this wild world of ours a better place. You look around and you are a believer, you tell yourself that with a little love and a lot of work we can make things a little better. You believe that if you are going to spend this much of your life ‘at work’, you want that work to have some meaning. And you want to have some impact in the world. You like thinking about the ‘big’ things, even though you know it’s the little details that matter most. And you even find yourself getting a little obsessive about those details. You see problems all around you and that inspires you to fix them. You believe in the power of human connection and you want to find more ways to connect more people and more ways to improve the human experience. You like to think about “why” before doing almost anything, but especially when it comes to design. Because you know that the best design is born from meaningful insight. The best design surfaces values and tells stories. The best design isn’t just pretty… the best design guides impact. At Brains on Fire we tell ourselves these very same things, and we are glad that our paths have crossed.
